ALBANY, N.Y. — A New York state trooper should have been disciplined for getting romantically involved with one of Andrew Cuomo’s adult daughters while serving on the Democrat’s security detail when he was governor, the state inspector general said in a report.
The watchdog report released Friday comes two years after the relationship - and the trooper’s apparent banishment to a post near the Canadian border - became the subject of newspaper headlines.
There was public speculation at the time that Cuomo had personally ordered the trooper transferred to a post about 150 miles (240 kilometers) north of the governor’s mansion because he was upset about the relationship.
